Another school- boy who has walked straight from school into county cricket is Mr. A. von Ernsthausen, who played for Surrey against Hamp- shire at Bournemouth. He was captain of the Uppingham eleven last term, and headed both the batting and bowling averages of his school team, having a batting average of 32 runs per innings, and taking sixty-six wickets at a cost of 14 runs each, his bowling being fast right - hand with a high delivery. But the Surrey team is not a very easy one in which to secure a per- manent place. The Sportsman's Library. It was not to be expected that an author should be able to find anything new to say on a matter which has furnished the text for a library of formidable dimen- sions ; but Captain Hayes in his new volume* has succeeded in combining the scientific with the popular in a fashion which lends a special value to his pages. It need hardly be said of a writer so well known that his advice con- cerning the treatment of horses in the stable and outside is pre- eminently sound and practical. It has occurred to us more than once that the horseowner might find it a profitable exercise to go through certain portions of the work and condense in brief " maxim " form the suggestions made ; the same to be hung up in the harness-room for the guidance of stablemen who are not too irrevocably wedded to their own methods to benefit by such aid. We are glad to observe that * Stable Management and Kxerdse." By M. Horace Hayes, F.R.C.V.S. (Hurst & Blaclcett.) I3S. Captain Hayes takes up once more the Open Air policy so strongly urged by Sir Walter Gilbey and Mr. Wilfred Tablet Ramipril Blunt. In his early works the author upheld the wisdom of giving as much fresh air as possible; and now, his acquaintance with horse- flesh having been vastly widened, he is more than ever convinced of the benefit of open-air life for horses as opposed to the hothouse existence in a stable. The horses reared on the Steppes of Little Russia for the Russian dragoon regiments have a strong dash of Arab and thoroughbred blood ; yet they Buy Ramipril Online show no Ramipril Mg ill effects, so far as their health is concerned, from havit)g lived in the open during Cheap Ramipril the extreme cold (often below — 30° Fahr.) of their winter, provided they get a sufficiency of food. Without a sufficiency of food horses reared under such condi- tions, as might be expected, were stunted in growth, Ramipril 2 Mg and though extremely hardy and useful, were not considered high enough to Ramipril 5mg make troopers.

Most of us have a general idea of the opera- tions, but fuller knowledge is desirable as indispensable to proper understanding of the true principles of feeding. A horse with a "full mouth" has forty teeth, namely, six front teeth in each jaw and one tusk ana six back teeth on each side of each jaw. Each tooth is covered with a very hard white and comparatively thin layer of enamel, which in the front teeth forms a depression in the middle of the cutting surface of the tooth. Ramipril 25 Mg Hence when a front tooth comes into wear, its table has two irregularly-shaped Order Ramipril Online rings of enamel with soft tooth substance (dentine) between them. In each back tooth the layer Order Ramipril of enamel is doubled in on each side so as to form on the table sharp and hard ridges which project above the soft dentine. The tables of the back teeth slope downwards and outwards, that is to say, their inner edges are higher than their outer edges. The action of the back teeth is that of a mill, in which the sharp surfaces of the lower back teeth on each side of the mouth are worked laterally against those of the upper jaw, and thus the food which is brought between them by the ton^e and cheeks is ground. As the lower jaw is narrower Ramipril 25 than the upper jaw, a horse can chew with his back teeth only on one side of his mouth at a time, which he often continues to do for even as long as an hour without changing to the other side. A horse is unable to use his front teeth and his back teeth Ramipril Online at the same time, for when he works his lower jaw laterally the front teeth of the lower jaw become separated from those of the upper jaw. Each tooth is lodged in a socket in its jawbone and is developed from its dental pulp, which is provided widi blood-vessels, nerves and secreting cells. . Owing to the continued secretion of dentine the teeth are slowly forced out of their sockets, which movement more or less makes up for the wear entailed on the teeth by mastication. Our own teeth, on the contrary, remain stationary in their sockets after they have attained their full size. The greater amount of wear under- gone by the back teeth of a horse is com- pensated for by the increasing obliquity of the incisors with age. As the teeth wear down in Ramipril Tablets time the layers of enamel of both the front and back teeth gradually become thinner and weaker, until at last they dis- appear altogether or fail Ramipril Tablet to fulfil their purpose as cutting projections on the tables of the teeth. Hence mastication becomes less perfect with age, and as the animal p;rows old he becomes increasingly liable to mdigestion from the faulty action of his teeth. On an average a horse takes about nine minutes to eat lib. of oats and about twelve minutes to consume the same weight of hay— (Colin). It is necessary, in order that the horse shall be What Is Ramipril able Ramipril Price to digest his food, that he should eat slowly and so chew it thoroughly ; we can promote completeness of chew- ing by bruising the corn whereby the saliva mixes more Ramipril Cough freely and easily with it, and we can en- courage slow eating by mixing chopped Ramipril 10 Mg hay with the corn. How important are the functions of the salivary glands we may gather from the authorities quoted by the author : ** for every 2^ lbs. of hay which a horse eats, his salivary glands have to pour into his mouth a gallon (lo lbs.) of saliva, and for the same weight of oats more than a quart of saliva." The function of the saliva is Buy Ramipril to prepare the food for digestion; the gastric juices of the stomach, and still more the pancreatic and intestinal
